Art in Mind: How Contemporary Images Shape Thought
ISBN: 9780226015293 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Art has the power to affect our thinking, changing not only the way we view and interact with the world but also how we create it. In "Art in Mind," Ernst van Alphen probes this idea of art as a commanding force with the capacity to shape our intellect and intervene in our lives. Rather than interpreting art as merely a reflection of our social experience or a product of history, van Alphen here argues that art is a historical agent, or a cultural creator, that propels thought and experience forward.
Examining a broad range of works, van Alphen a renowned art historian and cultural... Art has the power to affect our thinking, changing not only the way we view and interact with the world but also how we create it. In "Art in Mind," E...

So begins Hans Belting's brilliant, iconoclastic reconsideration of art and art history at the end of the millennium, which builds upon his earlier and highly successful volume, "The End of the History of Art?."

Cezanne and the End of Impressionism: A Study of the Theory, Technique, and Critical Evaluation of Modern Art
ISBN: 9780226753065 / Angielski / Miękka / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Drawing on a broad foundation in the history of nineteenth-century French art, Richard Shiff offers an innovative interpretation of Cezanne's painting. He shows how Cezanne's style met the emerging criteria of a "technique of originality" and how it satisfied critics sympathetic to symbolism as well as to impressionism. Expanding his study of the interaction of Cezanne and his critics, Shiff considers the problem of modern art in general. He locates the core of modernism in a dialectic of making (technique) and finding (originality). Ultimately, Shiff provides not only clarifying accounts of...

Degas and the Business of Art: "A Cotton Office in New Orleans"

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Edgar Degas's painting entitled A Cotton Office in New Orleans is one of the most significant images of nineteenth-century capitalism, in part because it was the first painting by an Impressionist to be purchased by a museum. Drawing upon archival materials, Marilyn R. Brown explores the accumulated social meanings of the work in light of shifting audiences and changing market conditions and assesses the artist's complicated relationship to the business of art. Despite the financial failure of the actual cotton firm he represented, Degas carefully constructed his picture...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) During the nineteenth century, as the rapid growth of industry transformed life in both America and Europe, many new churches and public buildings were designed in an imposing style based upon medieval and early Christian models. Kathleen Curran's book traces the origins of this phenomenon, known either as the Rundbogenstil or Romanesque Revival, in Rome, Karlsruhe, and the Munich of Ludwig I and charts its spread from Germany to London and the United States, where it shaped the design of such landmarks as Trinity Church in Boston and the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC....

Homer, Eakins, & Anshutz: The Search for American Identity in the Gilded Age
ISBN: 9780271023298 / Angielski / Twarda / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Randall Griffin's book examines the ways in which artists and critics sought to construct a new identity for America during the era dubbed the Gilded Age because of its leaders' taste for opulence. Artists such as Winslow Homer, Thomas Eakins, and Thomas Anshutz explored alternative "American" themes and styles, but widespread belief in the superiority of European art led them and their audiences to look to the Old World for legitimacy. This rich, never-resolved contradiction between the native and autonomous, on the one hand, and, on the other, the European and borrowed serves as the...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) During the 1960s, artists from Alan Kaprow and Yoko Ono to Andy Warhol and Richard Serra stopped making "art" as it has been thought of since the Renaissance. They staged performances that mixed everyday life with theater and in yet other, often ironic, ways challenged the system of marketing, display, and aesthetic discourse that ascribes exceptional monetary as well as cultural value to paintings and sculpture. Work Ethic, published in conjunction with an exhibition of the same name organized by The Baltimore Museum of Art, brings together a cross section of such radical...

Collectors in Baltimore--William Walters, George Lucas, the famous Cone sisters, among others--stand out in this milieu for having developed a strikingly different aesthetic for their homes and newly founded public institutions. These collectors looked to France for models of culture and, acting upon a remarkable understanding of the educational needs and working methods of artists, assembled extensive collections of drawings by French masters, from...

Fixed Ecstasy: Joan Miró in the 1920s

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Fixed Ecstasy advances a fundamentally new understanding of Miro's enterprise in the 1920s and of the most important works of his career. Without a doubt, Joan Miro (1893-1983) is one of the leading artists of the early twentieth century, to be ranked alongside such artists as Picasso, Matisse, Mondrian, and Pollock in his contributions to modernist painting. Still, Miro's work has eluded easy classification. He is best known as a Surrealist, but, as Charles Palermo demonstrates, Miro's early years in Barcelona and Paris require a revisionist account of Miro's development and his...

Paradoxy of Modernism
ISBN: 9780300108200 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) In this lively, personal book, Robert Scholes intervenes in ongoing discussions about modernism in the arts during the crucial half-century from 1895 to 1945. While critics of and apologists for modernism have defined modern art and literature in terms of binary oppositions--high/low, old/new, hard/soft, poetry/rhetoric--Scholes contends that these distinctions are in fact confused and misleading. Such oppositions are instances of "paradoxy"--an apparent clarity that covers real confusion.
Closely examining specific literary texts, drawings, critical writings, and memoirs, Scholes seeks to... In this lively, personal book, Robert Scholes intervenes in ongoing discussions about modernism in the arts during the crucial half-century from 1895 ...
